Press notes for Radio Gold state, "Harmond Wilks is a successful African-American entrepreneur who has inherited a prosperous real estate firm from his family. Along with his friend Roosevelt Hicks, Wilks is engineering a deal to develop a blighted area of Pittsburgh, provided they can acquire federal money to help seal the deal. While his best friend hitches his wagon to the fiscal gravy train, finding himself the minority front man on a lucrative radio station ownership deal (on which he gives golf-improving tips over the air), Wilks' involvement in backroom dealing and politicking require him to confront his ideals and whether they include becoming a black front for white people’s money, regardless of the overall benefits for his community, his family or himself."
